Foundation for Emails (previously known as Ink) is a framework for creating responsive HTML emails that work in any email client — even Outlook. Our HTML/CSS components have been tested across every major email client to ensure consistency. And with the [Inky](https://github.com/zurb/inky) templating language, writing HTML emails is now even easier.

## Getting Started

The main way to get started is with our [email template stack](https://github.com/zurb/foundation-emails-template). To use the stack, you'll need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) no greater than version 10 installed on your machine.

`nvm` installation instructions can be found [here](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#install--update-script)

To set up the emails template, run these commands:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/zurb/foundation-emails-template project
cd project
nvm install 10
nvm use 10
npm install
```

Then run `npm start` to run the project. A new browser window will open with a BrowserSync server showing the finished files.

Run `npm run build` to do a full email inlining process.

#### Using the Ruby gem

**foundation_emails** is a gem that enables you to use Foundation for Emails assets within a Rails project. To install in your app:

1. Add the following line to your Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'foundation_emails'
```

2. Then execute:

```bash
bundle install
```

3. Import Foundation for Emails in your emails' stylesheet(s):

```scss
// app/assets/stylesheets/your_emails_stylesheet.scss

@import "foundation-emails";
```

Adding Inky's templating capabilities to Rails is easy thanks to the [**inky-rb**](https://github.com/zurb/inky-rb) gem, which bundles `foundation_emails` by default.

## Documentation

**Check out our [Migration Guide](https://github.com/zurb/foundation-emails/blob/master/migration.md) for upgrading an existing template or for more in-depth code examples.**

Foundation for Emails 2.0 documentation and framework are on the `develop` branch and you can compile it on your own machine.

Run these commands to set up the documentation:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/zurb/foundation-emails.git
cd foundation-emails
```

Foundation for Emails 2.0 documentation is on the `develop` branch.

```bash
git fetch
git checkout develop
npm install
```

Then run `npm start` to compile the documentation. When it finishes, a new browser window will open pointing to a BrowserSync server displaying the documentation.

## Testing

Run `npm run test:visual` to compile the visual regression tests. All of the pages under `test/visual/pages` are compiled and inlined. From there, they can be uploaded to Litmus for testing.

## Inky

[Inky](https://github.com/zurb/inky) is our new templating language that converts simple HTML into the complex tables required for email layout.

The parser converts a set of custom HTML tags, expanding them out into full HTML syntax. Below is a list of every custom element.

### Grid

```html

### Block Grid

### Components
